Stay Cool And Green With Daikin

Taking the sustainable route is good for both the planet and your wallet

Air conditioners are the biggest guzzlers of electricity in most households. In fact, this home
appliance accounts for up to 25% of an average Singaporean home’s electricity usage.


This is why it is important for you to get a highly energy-efficient air conditioner. Besides
helping soften the blow to your monthly utility bill, such an air conditioner also allows you to
do your part to make the Earth a greener place.


Looking for an eco-friendly air conditioner? Here are some reasons why you should choose
Daikin.

Energy Efficiency

If you’re willing to increase your up-front investment in exchange for greater cost savings over the long run, pick the iSmileEco Series of air conditioners, which boast the maximum 5 energy ticks (Excellent).

Our holistic approach to sustainability

The cooling compounds we use in our air conditioners, as well as our installation and maintenance processes, are designed to be as environmentally-friendly as possible.

For example, the R32 refrigerant we use in certain models can lower electricity consumption by about 10% compared to air-conditioners that use the older R22 refrigerant. The R32 has zero ozone depletion potential and a much lower global warming potential (GWP) of 675, which is about three times lower than the R22. What’s more, air conditioners that operate using the R32 use 20% less refrigerant, and this translates to more cost savings over the long run as well as a smaller carbon footprint.

But that’s not all. Daikin also makes it a point to recover refrigerants during repair works, as the venting of this compound is harmful to the environment. The R32 for instance can be recycled and reused. We also use the R134A, R410A and reclaimed refrigerants, all of which are kinder on the environment compared to older cooling compounds.

In terms of installation, Daikin prides itself in using premium installation materials, including DSP seamless copper pipes, uPVC drainage pipes and Nitrile Rubber Tubing. The use of such durable materials doesn’t just ensure that the air conditioner works smoothly for a long time — it also means less repairs, which lead to higher material usage.

For maintenance, we use high-pressure steam for steam cleaning and high-pressure air to clean air conditioner ducts, both of which are much more environmentally-friendly than the conventional chemical overhaul approach.

Environmental Certifications

The reclaimed refrigerant and the thermal insulation materials we use for air conditioner
installation all have the “Very Good” rating by the Singapore Green Building Council.

Our Green Air Solutions — which include coil sanitisation, air filtration, air sanitisation, air
purification and UV light treatment — are also in full compliance with ISO 14001, the
internationally-recognised standard for environmental management systems. These
solutions have been proven to be effective in dealing with microorganisms such as bacteria,
mould and viruses.

Consumer awareness and education

As part of our commitment to sustainability, Daikin regularly engages with the public and our
supply chain partners to raise awareness about the importance of going green.

For example, during Climate Action Week 2022, we shared with the public how our products
and cooling solutions can reduce their carbon footprint. We also rolled out promotional
deals for our Ezi Series of air conditioners that use the R32 refrigerant.

TIPS: How to lower your air conditioner’s energy consumption

  1. The ideal temperature to set is 24°C. Setting it any lower means the system has to work extra hard and consume more energy.
  2. Using a fan together with air conditioner allows you to cool a room quicker. This also allows you to set a higher temperature and reduce the amount of energy needed.
  3. Try not to set the fan speed to ‘LOW’ unless necessary. A low fan speed means the room will take longer to cool, which means more energy spent. It could also cause condensation, which could lead to mould issues in the future.
  4. Consider using the Timer or Sleep mode to switch off the air conditioner a few hours after you fall asleep to reduce energy usage.
